Identifying High-Priority Ethical Challenges for Precision Emergency Medicine: Nominal Group Study
Our study developed a novel framework that maps critical ethical challenges across 3 domains (values, privacy, and justice) and 3 temporal stages of precision medicine implementation. This framework identifies high-priority areas for future research and policy development, particularly around data representation, privacy protection, and equitable access. Successfully addressing these challenges is essential to realize precision medicine's potential while preserving emergency medicine's core mission as health care's safety net.
